Vine: Joaquin scores cracking FIFA-esque finesse goal

We don't know how it curved like that either Joaquin

Joaquin > Physics.

Anyone who’s played the console series FIFA will know this age old tick. Cut inside with your player, press R1, or RB on the XBox, and watch your finesse shot fly in the top corner. Not quite as easy to do in a non-virtual setting, unless you’re Joaquin.

The Spaniard scored this incredible, physics defying goal today for Fiorentina. Cutting inside onto his favoured right foot, the winger unleashes a shot that starts outside the goal, before somehow curling into the net, leaving the Palermo players stunned. Joaquin’s goal helped his side win the game 4-3.
